The seal is always circular, measuring 7/10ths of the flag's height, typically bearing a shield of varying shape with local heraldic bearings (the degree of heraldic correctness varying greatly but quite low in average) on a solid background surrounded by an outlined ring typically bearing the name of the entity.
Apayao and Kalinga resulted from the split of Kalinga-Apayao (which itself was formed when Mountain Province was split into four in 1966); one province takes place of the former mother province in the original list, and the other assumes the latest number in the list.
